I just talked to Siegelman's attorney's office.

[trof]

Vince Kilborn.
They're in nearby Mobile.
I talked to a secretary because I wanted to know if there would be any kind of welcome home party/rally. I told her I'd really like to be there.

She said nothing that she knew of at this time, but took my name and number.
I hope.
I really would like to shake his hand.

1. I bet we could do something with flowers or what not like what we did with Boxer

Setup a paypal account gather up some money and send a ton of flowers to his location.

2. or donate to his legal defense fund

he still has to go to court for his appeal

[trof]

5. He could really use some cash.

His legal bills are astronomical.

12. Governor in 2010?

Fiddlesticks.......... how about president in 2008???

He'd make a great president.

[Tinksrival]

A show of support would be great. He deserves it.

6. Cool. I love it when DU takes action.

I think it's great when we move from reading the news to being involved.

Good job, trof.

7. If we end up getting him cleared before '10

He could make a real impact on the elections. Now, I doubt Folsom will step aside in terms of the governorship, because the legislature is his, and it seems as if he has a sure shot to the mansion.

Where it becomes interesting is when you begin to talk about Congressional seats or the Attorney's Generals office. I fervently believe that if we had the election again today, Tyson would win. He only lost because no one in North Alabama had ever heard of him. Also, I think King will try and go for one more term as Attorney General. A Siegelman/King race would be real interesting, especially if Siegelman comes into it as the man who had been wrongly imprisoned.

8. I'd like to see him replace Sessions.

[Hissyspit]

9. .

[shireen]

10. please report back if you go to the party/rally

We'd really like to know how he's doing it. He's been in my thoughts a lot these past few weeks.

11. Why not start one here???

I mean line up out side the prison and applaud him when he comes out???

on edit if i could get there in time, i would go... and throw a "Bird" at anyone taking pictures.

13. Governor in 2010?

Why not president in 2008? He'd make a great president!

Former Alabama governor leaves federal prison in Louisiana on bond
AP - March 28, 2008 - http://www.jacksonsun.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080328/NEWS01/80328011


OAKDALE, La. — Former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman left the federal prison at Oakdale on appeal bond today, saying he remains upbeat despite being incarcerated for nine months on his conviction in a corruption case.

‘‘I may have lost my freedom for awhile, but I never lost faith,’’ Siegelman told reporters.

Leaving the prison in a black sport utility vehicle, he stopped on the road outside the lockup to comment. He wore a ragged shirt that appeared to be prison clothing.

He declined further comment, saying, ‘‘I want to be with my family for a few days.’’ But he said he would make a statement when he reaches his home in Birmingham, Ala.
